It looks like the headers are not very useful in their current
unmodified state for my compiler, but cURL always includes them
because of HAVE_WS2TCPIP_H, which I can't seem to unset or influence.
My current workaround is to copy the problematic headers into my
project, change them and version them with my project. This works.

But I would like to propose the attached patch which gives users like
me a bit more control: It checks for my problematic compiler and simply
doesn't define HAVE_WS2TCPIP_H anymore in that case. The only problem
is that without these headers one can't use IPv6 anymore, but that may
be fine for a lot of projects.

If one wants to use IPv6 and those headers instead, possibly using my
workaround, one simply needs to define HAVE_WS2TCPIP_H on the project
level manually to override the check of cURL. The important thing is
that we now have the chance to choose and my workaround is not
necessarily necessary anymore.

Any thoughts again?
